Canidae
Canis anthus · Least concern
More elegant, with a more melodic voice and a milder smell: that was Frédéric Cuvier's verdict in 1820, when he set the African wolf apart from the golden jackal, of which it was once classed as a variant. In Senegal's Serer religion it is held in high esteem as the first creature created by the god Roog.

Canidae
Vulpes lagopus · Least concern
The Arctic fox can smell frozen lemmings under 46 to 77 cm of snow and detect a seal's lair under 150 cm; once it has located its prey, it pounces and punches through the snow. About 90% of the world's Arctic foxes are white, but the blue form makes up 65-70% in Iceland.

Canidae
Vulpes cana · Least concern
Of all living wild dogs, only the fennec fox is smaller than Blanford's fox, whose bushy tail is nearly as long as its body. Long known only in southwest Asia, it turned up in Israel in 1981, and a fox caught in Egypt in 1988, first taken for a Rüppell's fox, proved to be one.
